Never in my 65 years on planet Earth would I ever have imagined that I would feel a spark of joy over the hatching of a microscopic moss piglet. Thank you for astonishing. On so many levels.
I agree with you. I'm in the same situation! i found these shows awesome; And I LIKE Hank's voice, very calm and slow ,to expain on the screen...ANOTHER WORLD, microcosmos. A strange and weird world but...a lot of microscopic animals are...like us about body's functions!!!
Ok boomer

When I saw the tardigrade hatch I realized. this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a event, but this even happens daily everywhere and has been for the past millions and millions of years
“If you haven't watched it yet, it's great. There's poop.”
- Hank, 2020
The Real Flenuan “two tardigrades, one poop”
Hank is a scat man. Skibbi dibbi deep yote doh dote dote.
He says it like it’s a selling point 😂

@@tippib2222 i was dying to see this comment
*"Sure they are unaware of our existence, but they are in our care."*
Imagine if there is some hyper dimensional being who observes our joys and sorrows, and on occasion, rudely pokes at us.
God: allow me to introduce myself
It is called KARMA.
Thuy Pham nah karma is a cruel concept
Event Hʘriךּon, so are most interpretations of God.
That's a pretty unavoidable conclusion given our universe. It came from something much bigger that you can call God or Infinity. It's just that people resist agreeing on the specifics. Ernst Nagel calls this the Cosmic Authority Problem. We don't like the idea of being watched. So it's more comfortable to call it Multiverse and pretend it can't see us anymore.
This channel is such a treasure. Imagine if you could show these videos to biologists a hundred years ago.
so, would they technically be considered water bear cubs?
YES +
Absolutely
VicDraws +++!!!
Well they are also called water pigs by some, so either or. Water piglet sounds cuter though.
u win
*From one proud multi-cellular parent to another, congrats on the ruptured egg sack!*
A+ comment right here!
I have so many questions
😂😂😂. Wow. I ugly laughed🤣
Dude
We might be soulmates
This education content is unique, it should be shown in all schools
I agree
Too many obvious references to evolutionary biology for that. I attended school in rural Mississippi, and this stuff would have been considered taboo. That's why I'm grateful for information technology and channels like this.
KeithThe Iconoclast it’s kinda sad that people consider truth as taboo... :’(
@@ChaBawbe No doubt. I've met people in the south who believe dinosaur bones were planted by Satan to fool us.
Tried it, kids hated it. Too realistic for the 16 year olds. I fear for the human species.
Even microscopic babies have disproportionately large heads, and that makes them so damn cute!
The microverse is a horrifying place. Thankfully its inhabitants lack the capacity to feel terror.
I hope.
*When's the baby shower? I have cell membrane wipes and mitochondrial pacifiers ready to send!*
Rotifer And I’ll bring the microscopic diapers!
I whould love to come to! I’ll bring some extera snacks!
"Tardigrades are unaware of us"
*proceeds to poke the mother with a brush*
This might be just me, but tardigrades could end up forming a religion/cult around that brush intervention.
"...and then the long and skinny guardian angel seized me and took me out of danger..." - From the book of Our Holy Mother.
All hail brush! All hail brush!
Mate397, nah they don’t have brains
@@eypick6987 Nor do they have books, despite my previous comment.
But does your comment imply that religious fanatics have brains?
That episode from the Simpsons when Lisa creates a micro-universe
1:04 onwards, how cute is that the mama is actually cleaning her little front paw? These are adorable little fellas and I am am so glad you take so much care of them.
''That's why we took such care to keep her alive.''
*bashes her in the face with a giant stick*
😂😂😂
yes she's pregnant, but she needs to go be pregnant in the kitchen. it's for her own good really.
ahahaha ohh come on! I was super gentle!
anosmianAcrimony
That giant stick is a single hair.
@@JamsGerms gentle yes! but it's still funny seeing this black stick just push around the water bear and its little bit of moses
"The Tardibabies" could absolutely be on Disney+ next year.
@@ARegularPie - It's Disney+, they are beyond that. I mean really, their current top kid's show is about a wanted bounty hunter killing lots and lots of people to protect a baby from being, at best, mutilated and experimented on. I actually love the show but we are many parsecs from "The Wonderful World of Disney" now.
The merch would be pretty small.
*Should
Just “the tards.”
@@lisaschuster9187 and the sequel 'The re-tards'
theres something so beautiful about these videos, the narration and music and everything.. i feel sorry for that immobile tardigrade mom too. i really do wonder what happened there.
Like Padme, she lost the will to live.
I felt some genuine grief.
I, too, felt genuine grief for the little mama & her babies.
Once we get engaged with this astonishing dimension, it's difficult to see such a loss. Empathy knocks us off the shelf in the most unexpected ways... anybody got a stepladder I can borrow???😲
A new PBS SpaceTime vid _and_ a new Microcosmos vid in the span of an hour? This might be the best hour of my week
This is awesome. You guys are really adding to science with these clips. I hope you are saving all the hours that didn't make it to the TH-cam edit just in case a researcher needs it
I love a day off, doing laundry, and a new episode of Journey to the Microcosmos posts 35 seconds ago!
They are the most precious little creatures ...I feel bad for the first mom who died though...maybe she couldn’t go into cryptobiosis because she wanted to stay awake to keep the babies safe....but I am happy for the ones that did make it, especially the late bloomer who was last to hatch
Whoa Im never this early, usually I'm pretty tardi
I'll show myself out

Pretty Tardilate? :)
grade joke, friend.
"I'll show myself out..."
Please do.
I imagine that James was holding his breath when he found that egg! Awesome footage!
Oh my i have never clicked on a video faster
I WANT A PLUSH OF A TARDEGRADE
THEY ARE SO SMOL AND SQUISHY AND I WANT 500 OF THEM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!
THEY HAVE STUBBY LITTLE FEET
Giant Microbes has a Tardigrade Plush
You would lose them straight away in a drop of water.
Omg yesss
@@alphaamoeba My favourite site to be honest... I have the Black Death {I did a class on it}, Dengue Fever {actually had it} and the T4 Macrophage {it was so cool}.
@@j.d.8075 cool! I have the Blue Amoeba, Copepod and Krill
7:28 I was not ready to randomly burst into tears today and feel and these feelings.
Rip the Tardigrade from last episode :(
I love how the music over the egg hatching reflected how I would assume the little baby tardigrade felt at the time, growing into a crescendo as it finally escaped it's little shell
Your efforts are really appreciable. Thank you for taking us to so beautiful journeys🙂
*Awwww.....who couldn't just love cute baby water bears?*
Internet: ASMR
Me: tardigrades
I love your work so much. It's not only educational but also very relaxing ❤️
This wasn't a great Monday. Then I saw this. Far better now.
Thank y'all very much.
Congratulations Hank and team on the new editions!!
I use concave slides for this sort of work. They don't provide an all too easy to focus image but they're open so no cover slips. They do dry out faster though. So like anything they have their pros and cons.
NegativeInfinity, I put tiny bits of clay on the corners of the coverslip. It keeps it from crushing or pinning things unless I hit it with the objective.
@@evilsharkey8954 that's a good idea. I think I might try that.
Ive got a concave slide that’s meant to be used with a cover slip. The dip is tiny and you can barely feel there’s a dip at all but it does the job. Not too much movement up and down, but it doesn’t crush larger specimens.
0612rex, the clay method is for people using cheap, flat slides. Concave slides don’t need it because the bigger critters can hang out in the middle. I didn’t know there were shallow ones, though. Most of the ones I’ve seen have a pretty deep well.
Evil Sharkey they’re so shallow it’s difficult to tell what side is concaved just by looking. I’ve seen the deep ones made with plastic but the ones I’ve got are high quality glass. I think I got them for £10 for 10 slides.
One of the most awesome channels out there! Thank you for everything. Greetings from Rio Grande do Sul!
Spectacular footage, James!
Thank you for adding scale bars!
Wow, every 4 hours. Thank you all sooooo much for your dedication and loyalty to us, your viewers!! This video, literally, caused me to squeal in excitement. It is one of my favorite days of the week, when I get this notification. This channel is amazing, thank you all again, truly. ❤
Ahhhhh! Two Tardigrade videos in a row, ahhhhh! ❤️❤️
I can imagine the poor mom who you kept having to poke, going, damnit! I want to move this way, not that way! You’re such good tardi grand parents 😁
I’m so happy you we able to get what you have! Don’t feel guilty over the momma that passed away...nature is nature, and there’s likely nothing you could have done!
That sigh though... I couldn't help but echo it
This is absolutely incredible footage, and a fascinating biological process! Tardigrades are my favorite, and I loved watching that little baby 'chew' their way out of their egg! Thanks for putting so much effort into bringing this adorable tiny family into the world, and thanks for sharing the journey with us here!
You guys really should be given some sort of an award for your work here. Or at least an acknowledgement from elite academia for the work you guys have done.
Seriously, no one's ever done what your doing in the way your doing it and I honestly feel it should be recognized and celebrated.
Cheers!🍻
"Which is why we took so much care to keep this one alive"
*Pokes mama bear right in the face*
Tardigrade: "OI, who just poked me???"
Omg the baby is so dang cute haha
You have my vote for best content on TH-cam. Thanks !
You guys really outdid yourselves with this one. Absolutely amazing to se this. Thank you for sharing this.🖤🇨🇦
Thank you, baby tenders! That looked like a lot of work, and seeing that egg hatch effected me!
Thank you for taking us on this Voyage
I'm curious: Do you keep the specimens indefinitely, destroy them, or return them to the wild?
I know they culture them, so I assume they rinse the slides back into the appropriate culture jars. I believe they are all local microbes, too, so they could technically be released without any risk of environmental harm.
@@evilsharkey8954 the way I understand it, they have that guy James collect the samples and record them in his country and the makers of the channel analyze the footage and provide commentary.
DeathsHead Knight, when I said “they” I meant James. There’s a video where you see some of his cultures and where he collects specimens.
@@evilsharkey8954 sneems
We keep the slides in humidity chambers in this way they don't get dry and we can observe them for a long time. We have some slides that are prepared months ago and everything on them is still alive! And when we need to discard them we wash the slides back into the jar!
..what a rollercoaster of emotions! ..thank you JttM :)
Who is the telephone bear?
@@simonkemfors he is just a man.
@@telefonbarmann4514 who likes telephone bears?
I just want to let you guys know that this content is all I’ve ever wanted and more 🥺 Astounding!
Truly spectacular work. Thank you for your dedicated effort to share this glimpse into the hidden world. 💕
Looove Tardigrades...as well as this channel. Keep it coming please.
Thank you so much for all your patience and efforts James and the team! 👍🏻
I felt more emotions in this 10 minutes of a video about microscopic organisms than in the whole of the last weak, well done
I. Love. This. Channel.
You guys are so dedicated to your curiousity and sense of responsibility to these teeny guys. Always excited when you update!!!
I love the addition of the scale for this season. It helps a lot.
These episodes bring me so much joy, thank you for what you all do!
You guys do amazing stuff, its awesome that we get the privilege to see into this world through this channel. Every video is adding to science
....I will not cry over the tardigrade and her tardibabies.... I WILL NOT CRY!!!
Your team is amazing, thank you for sharing your passion and skills with us.
I suggest videos on the human microbiome and on biofilms. Great channel! It really fills a gap on TH-cam. Also, I love listening to Hank's "bedtime" voice. So much joy and wonder.
I think I heard the first tardigrade baby coming out of its shell yell ‘FIRST’ in true TH-cam fashion.
I guess the chances of me being a total geek, just skyrocketed. ;-)
• 4:23 - Dammit, I'm not in the mood for depressing stuff right now. :-\
• 5:10 - "We took so much care keeping her alive" … jabbing her in the face with a giant stick. This had to be intentional. 🤔
• 8:01 - Did someone get the plates on that truck? 🤨
Tardigrades are just too adorable ❤❤ I'm loving this channel.. the narration, the music, it all comes together perfectly! Thank you for making such high-quality and interesting videos 😊❤
this is beautiful, it's amazing how such a small creature can be so similar to the macroscopic creatures... and in some degree to us...
"You should. It's great. There's poop." - Hank, 2020
These things are so adorable, and they always dance to the music!
Great... where am I gonna find a box of teeny, tiny cigars?
More baby tardigrade videos please! I want to watch them grow up!!
Paused at 2:30 to say: You just took all of this to another level. Luv you, whole team.
5:11
"We took so much care to keep her alive "
Also: poke the Tardigrade with a stick 😂😂😂
That should be a meme
Thank you so much for taking your time to do such wonderful work! All of it - it's beautiful, inspiring, and science! And as some people say about it - it's an art! And only sometimes it is science 😄
Y'all got that Complexly money! Congratulations on this victory, you've all worked so hard and earned every bit of it.
Gosh that was emotional.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I've always loved science.but this is a real eye opener. Thank you for sharing this with the world. ❤😊
Congratulations! Love this!
This was amazing, that one lone egg!! Great job as always!
THANK YOU ! Beautiful and precise commentary.
reusing your shed skin as a baby sling sounds so practical
I was just watching the "how do microorganisms poop" video and Hank said to send questions. First thing that popped into my head was "how do tardigrades mate?".... scrolled down, and this was the next video in my feed. I f-ing love these channels.
This was not educational, it was the science front line, you guys just produced science and new knowledge right there. thanks.
I love you, Hank. I love you, James. I love this channel so much.
That was absolutly amazing
Ahhhhh! I forgot to take my happy pill last night so I've been very grumpy today and this vid made me so happy! I love water bears and hope to find one in the bog in my yard. What an amazing video. Just beautiful little guy!
this sincerley is some of the absolute best content online
I love the music. It makes the videos so unique
i wonder if you could team up with animal wonders and do some videos on the microcosm within a sloths fur. Ive heard that their fur is like a miniature world, with its own little microclimates, flora, and fauna, all keeping the sloths fur clean as it slowly works its way through the trees..
During this time of crisis it’s reassuring to see something like this and know that the world spins on despite what is happening in our human centric world. Perspective has eased my anxiety a bit xxx
Aw, congratulations! It's a ...errr ... oh my! Nurse!
please make more takes like the one of the dead tardigrade. it was awsome some distance to fully see the moviment of the microworld
After you film your Tardigrades, how do you return them to their larger habitats? They can't live in a drop of water forever...
I've NEVER been so excited about a video
Fascinating, I could watch your videos all day!
Imagine you’re pregnant and going for a walk but every time you get to the end of the street something the relative size of a telephone pole comes and gently but insistently nudges you in the face until you head the other way down the street again
Pregnancy is just one misery after another at the end. I'd have taken a pole to the head at 40 weeks to get her out. She never turned because she was a "frank breech" meaning her legs were bent up from the hips. Think toes in ears. I started out at 110 pounds & was 163 when I finally talked the Drs into a C-section. This was before ultrasounds, I just knew she was NEVER coming out on her own. 36 years later, she's still my only.
Microcosmos s2 off to a good start, so far I've cried during 33% of the episodes
5:42 might have been the best moment of my day
That deceased tardigrade mom was really sad 😔 but it was really beutiful and reconforting watching that baby tardigrade hatch 🤩🥰
That was so cool! This was by far my favorite episode!
That’s why.. **poke** we took so much care... **poke** to keep her... **poke** alive... **poke** 😂
I will love him and hug him and call him George
maybe baby tardigrades are cute.
but hace you seen *baby hydra* ?
